Doorway Smithy Thatched Watching
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this coloured slide image of the Doorway of Smithy, circa 1880s. This photograph transports us to a simpler era, where the charm of rural life is on full display. The thatched building, with its aged and weathered exterior, serves as the backdrop for this scene. Men, dressed in work clothes and engrossed in their tasks, are seen laboring inside the smithy. Their focus is on their work, oblivious to the world outside. The warm glow of the lanterns casts an inviting light, illuminating the interior and adding a sense of coziness to the image. Children, clad in their Sunday best, gather outside the doorway, peering in with wide, curious eyes. Their fascination with the men at work is evident, as they watch intently, taking in every detail of the blacksmith's craft. The contrast between the industrious adults and the innocent children adds depth and intrigue to the photograph. The Doorway of Smithy is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of rural communities during the 1880s. The rich colors and intricate details of this coloured slide image make it a treasure for historians, photographers, and anyone with an appreciation for the history of everyday life.
